DBCL130 Dry Block Temperature Calibrator

Introduction

The DBCL130 calibrator provides a safe, dry, constant temperature source for checking and calibrating

a wide range of temperature sensors, systems, indicators and thermometers. It is fast and economical and

can be used either on a bench top or as a portable field unit. The weight of the unit is only 15 pounds/6.8

kilograms. The unit covers the temperature range from -25°C to +130°C in an ambient of 20°C using a

machined aluminum block as the heat transfer medium. The temperature control circuit is built into the

unit.

Features include:

• Maximum temperature of 130°C/266°F

• Minimum temperature of -25°C/-13°F

• Up to eight setpoints can be stored & recalled

• Insert well & ¼” diameter reference well

Even though the unit heats up and cools down rapidly, highly efficient insulation and an internal cooling

fan ensure that the case remains safe enough to handle even at maximum operating temperatures. The

DBCL130 calibrator has been designed to comply with all relevant electromagnetic interference and

electrical safety regulations.

Warning

Warning: HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS

HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: They can cause serious burns to operators and ignite

combustible material. Omega Engineering has taken great care in the design of these units to protect

operators from hazards, but operators should pay attention to the following points:

• USE CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PROTECT HANDS

• DO NOT put hot objects on or near combustible objects

• DO NOT operate the unit close to inflammable liquids or gases

• DO NOT place any liquid directly in your unit

• At all times USE COMMON SENSE

Operator Safety

All operators of Omega Engineering equipment must have available the relevant literature needed to

ensure their safety. It is important that only suitably trained personnel operate this equipment in

accordance with the instructions contained in this manual and with general safety standards and

procedures. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Omega Engineering, the protection

provided by the equipment to the operator may be impaired. All Omega Engineering units have been

designed to conform to international safety requirements. If a safety problem is encountered, switch off

at the power socket and remove the plug from the supply. Please use caution when removing probes and

inserts as burns to the skin can occur if in contact.

Installation

1. All Omega Engineering units are supplied with a power cable.

2. Before connecting the power supply, check the voltage against the rating plate. Connect the

power cable to a suitable plug according to the table below. Note that the unit must be earth

grounded to ensure proper electrical safety.

Electrical connections:

220V-240V 110V-120V

Live Brown Black

Neutral Blue White

Earth ground Green/yellow Green

The fused plug supplied with the power lead for use in the UK is fitted with the following value

fuse to protect the cable: 230V UK 4 AMP

The fuse in the unit protects the unit and the operator. Note that the model DBCL130 operates

on any mains voltage from 100 to 240VAC. However a properly rated mains cable should be

used based on the mains operating voltage used.

3. Plug the power cable into the socket on the rear of the unit.

4. Place the unit on a suitable bench or flat workspace, or in a fume cupboard if required,

ensuring that the air inlet vents on the underside are free from obstruction.

After use, when you have finished heating samples, remember that parts of the unit may be very

hot. Take the precautions listed earlier.

OPERATION

Preparation

The heater design, temperature sensor and control circuit give good temperature control and

uniformity, but make sure that there is a close fit of the probes in the block to allow

efficient heat transfer. Contact us about an insert that more closely fits your probe or device

being calibrated.

Plug the power cable into the socket in the back of the unit. Connect the power cable to the

electrical supply and switch the power on. 1 = power on, 0 = power off.

Clean the heater block cavity out with

shop or canned air to remove any

particulate. Next place the probe insert

into the heater block as shown using the

supplied insert extractor to minimize the

risk of damaging the heater block and/or

probe insert. Never place a hot insert into

a cold heater block or vice versa as the

insert may become jammed which will

damage both parts. Always use the insert

extractor to both install and remove the

probe insert.

4. To prevent damage to the heater block,

insert, peltiers and PRT block sensor DO

NOT use the following in or around the

block;

Oil, Thermal grease, Water

Aluminum oxide sand,

Ceramic fiber insulation or Kaowool

Setting the operating temperature

1. To set the operating temperature required, press and hold either the up or down arrow button

to increment to the value required. Alternatively you can press the («PF) key to move over to

individual digits to set higher values much quicker. After 2 seconds your value will be set &

retained.

2. When you have entered a set temperature the unit will start to heat or cool to that value.

3. Once the process value temperature reaches the set point, allow the block to fully stabilize for

at least 10 minutes before performing a calibration.

4. When calibrating sensors and thermometers start at higher temperatures first and then work

down to lower ones. This will allow devices to be removed safely.

5. Use the main insert well for calibrating sensors and thermometers. The ¼” hole behind the

insert well is for holding your reference thermometer when performing comparison

calibrations. All calibrations should be performed in the probe insert.

Entering up to 8 setpoints for fast recall

1. To input up to 8 setpoints press the first button on the left and then the 2

button from the

left until the top line displays SP-0. Here you can enter up to 8 values for fast future recall. Do

not change any of the settings or values after SP-7. When finished entering values press the

button on the left one time. You’ll need to note which value is in which location for future recall.

2. To select one of the 8 setpoints for use from the main display press the 2

button from the

left so the top line displays M-SP. Next use the up arrow key to select one of the 8 setpoint

values. Press the 1

key on the left twice for the value to be accepted.

Operation near ambient

For best results, to calibrate at a set point near ambient when cooling down from a higher temperature

set parameter (AL-1) 3 °C/5 °F higher than you room ambient. When heating up from a lower

temperature set (AL-1) 3 °C/5 °F lower than ambient. Access the AL-1 parameter by pressing the mode

button (2

from the left).

Temperature scale conversion

To switch from C to F and vice versa press and hold then select C or F under the d-U parameter.

Next press to display SL-H parameter. Set this value to 266 for degrees F operation and 130 for

degrees C. Press to display SL-L parameter, leave this value at -40 for both degrees C and F. Press

to exit.

Press once and then until the parameter CN5 is displayed. For this value when switching from

F to C divide the value shown by 1.8 and change it. For conversion from C to F multiply by 1.8 and

change. Adjusting calibration parameters is discussed below.

Calibration Adjustment using a reference thermometer

Use the following if you have a traceable reference thermometer and would like to adjust the calibration of the

DBCL130. Calibrations should be performed in a 3/16” or ¼” diameter insert and not the reference well.

Press the first button on the left and then the 2

button from the left until the top line displays CN5. The initial

value shown is the default factory calibration and corresponds to the readings shown on the factory calibration

certificate.

CN5 is a calibration offset, low end adjustment. Example if your reference thermometer reads 0.5 and the

DBC130 display is indicating 0.0 then set the CN5 value to 0.5. Then press the first button on the left. The display

will correct to 0.5 and start to cool down so the block reading and your reference thermometer match. Adjust

parameter CNRt at high end temperatures to correct non-linearity or slope. When done press the button on the left

one time.

Operator maintenance

NOTE THAT THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD ONLY BE DISMANTLED BY PROPERLY TRAINED

PERSONNEL. REMOVING THE FRONT OR REAR PANELS EXPOSES POTENTIALLY LETHAL

VOLTAGES. THERE ARE NO OPERATOR MAINTAINABLE PARTS WITHIN THE

EQUIPMENT.

In the unlikely event that you experience any problems with your unit which cannot easily be remedied,

you should contact your supplier and return the unit if necessary. Please include any details of the fault

observed and remember to return the unit in its original packing. Omega Engineering will accept no

responsibility for any damage to units that are improperly packed for shipment. If in doubt, contact your

supplier.

1. Cleaning: Before cleaning your unit, ALWAYS disconnect it from the power supply and

allow it to cool to 30° C. Your unit can be cleaned by wiping with a damp soapy cloth. Care

should be exercised to prevent water from running inside the unit. Do not use abrasive

cleaners.

2. Fuse: The unit is protected by a fuse. It should only be changed by suitably qualified

personnel. If the fuse blows persistently, a serious fault is indicated and you may need to

return the unit to your supplier for repair.
